Tony Doherty is more Irish than Welsh, he's a good prospect.

Of course there is Ben Dunne aswell.

Dunne could just be a bit of a hype job, he has not set anything alight thus far.

Dunne was terrible in his last fight anyway. He won a controversial 96-94 decision against Yuri Voronin, a guy who was shut out 100-90 by Mzonke Fana who was then easily KO'd in 2 rounds by Barrera.

Yup I was always suspicious of Dunne who was in fairness a very good amateur but he just doesnt look to have anything to threaten the best in the pro ranks

What about Matthew Macklin? Isn't he supposed to be Irish, or of Irish stock? He's fighting in the USA sometime soon, I think.
